Some Edits to 'To Where and Back Again'

Glim-Glam ventures to the village ALONE.

Prior to this she confides in Twilight that her fear of rejection is very much based on the fact that she never really got to actually Know many of the ponies in her village before she removed their cutie marks and applied her own template of sameness upon them.

When she arrives in the village she is greeted with warmth and genuine affection as in the episode.  The ponies offer many fond recollections of how good a leader she was before the whole cult of sameness began.  A shout of 'we love you Glimmy' from one of the ponies in the crowd brings a lump to her throat.  Some pony asks her a question about their arrangements for the festival and then she begins to sing a little.  The other ponies join in and follow her.

We see history repeat as individuals follow old patterns of behavior in this sequence.  The music begins to resemble 'In Our Town'.   Ponies march in line behind Glimmy as they follow her down Main Street to the podium and gets up to speak.  Then we see the ponies from her point of view.

They have unconsciously split into two columns while following her and are now organized into a giant equals sign.

Glimmy just stands there with her mouth open when she realizes what has just happened.  Then she starts to break down.  Tears in her eyes she apologizes to everyone and then runs off as fast as she can.
